Sultry Saturday – The Wisest Maiden Musical Inspiration

The first week of touring blogs has been a whirlwind, to say the least. I wanted to settle down at my home blog, put my feet up and tell you a little of my inspiration for this story. The story grew out of an idea for a fairy tale that was a little off of the beaten path. It was summer, or approaching summer when I was writing this, and I often find myself writing stories in the present climate, the better to more fully capture the “feel” of the weather. Then I caught some program on the National Geographic Channel or History, I don’t remember which, that was talking about the Taj Mahal and the great love that king had for his queen. Great love is wonderful, but a conflict it does not make. But the, bang! The old brain kicked in and there was One Thousand and One

Support for MC/IR Writers, Information for their Readers

With the recent announcement of the Romance Writers of America sanctioning a chapter that deals with Multicultural and Interracial Authors of romances, I decided to take figurative pen in hand and make some comments. MC= Multicultural and IR= Interracial. Note that all IR is multicultural, but not all MC is IR. J Writers need support. We need support through those times where we’ve done a manuscript and thought it was the worst thing we’ve ever written. We need support with the promotion that we are doing with our books. We need support when mapping out our next great idea. Our readers want to know what’s new, what’s happening, what’s going on. They want to be there when our book releases, so they can be ahead of the wave. I am pleased that the Romance Writers of America have finally acknowledged that yes, there are writers and readers of multicultural and

Sultry Saturday – I'm Ready for some Football

Aren’t you? The Giants won the Super Bowl, Peyton Manning was fired from the Colts and Tim Tebow is a Jet. Drew Brees had a slight contract dispute and Wes Welker didn’t get the long-term contract he was looking for (but who’s surprised about that, really). Lots of changes taking place in the world of American football. But this Sunday’s Hall of Fame Game with the Saints versus the Cardinals (no fair telling who’s going to win that one) kicks off a new season of any given Sundays. Will Peyton Manning get crushed in Denver or will he be able to pull out a ring? I mean, Tebow got the Broncos to the playoffs last year, so it’s not like they’re not a good team. Enough with the football chat, I could go on forever, tell you about my fantasy league and why I think Matt Stafford is fantasy

Sultry Saturday – Seven Things I Consider Sexy

Come in, sit down, have a drink. Never too early or too late for a drink. Get comfortable. I have something to tell you. A confession. I love a hot male body, but after a while, they all look the same. I love steak, but I couldn’t eat it every day of the week. Mind you, this is not to say that I don’t enjoy a lovely specimen, and I will continue to look, believe me. This confession, which I made to some other writer friends of mine some time ago, led me to thinking: What is sexy? Lean close, now because I’m not going to raise my voice, and I’m only going to say this once. Being a woman of a certain age, I’ve had my share of male candy. Most types. Most colors. A tiny share, but my share all the same. Looking back, not a lot of
